    Shipping of 5kg 1m x 10cm x 5cm box to generic "aussie location" major port = £38

    That price applies up until 185cm - anything more they don't like, but thats a decent gantry span. Posting directly to Australind or Packenham is £39, 1-3 day service apparently.

    Lets double the cost to account for me being an idiot and not accounting for import duties... Say £135 per metre door to door.

    Thats way better than your quote of £1400 for 6m ~ £233/m not including shipping.
    I'd say his aussie flag in his profile lol

    My aluminium in the machine weighs 60kg's+ but I found a few extrusion suppliers in Oz and also could ship from China cheaper than UK.

    If you didn't buy it from China the company you bought it from did ;)
